Population & MigrationDerek Wood, Jackson Taylor, Abdullah Hikmat
When we studied population we examined where people lived and why they lived there. Over the years the TFR decreased. Why is that? Why are women having fewer children? Through the review, we will relearn why people live where they do. Several migrants flee their homelands every year. Areas with better opportunities pull these people to those new destinations. In the review we will answer the questions why migrants choose to leave a particular place and why they go to a particular place. What are the push/pull factors of these situations?
College Board Study Topics: II. Population . 13–17%
A. Geographical analysis of population
1. Density, distribution, and scale
2. Implications of various densities and distributions
3. Patterns of composition: age, sex, race, and ethnicity
4. Population and natural hazards: past, present, and future
B. Population growth and decline over time and space
1. Historical trends and projections for the future
2. Theories of population growth, including the Demographic Transition Model
3. Patterns of fertility, mortality, and health
4. Regional variations of demographic transitions
5. Effects of population policies
C. Population movement
1. Migration selectivity
2. Major voluntary and involuntary migrations at different scales
3. Theories of migration, including push and pull factors,human capital, and life course
4. International migration and refugees
5. Socioeconomic consequences of migration
